Abstract
A technique especially suitable for delivering trucks from their manufacturing site to a common delivery site. Each of these trucks includes a decking bar mounted to and extending across the truck main chassis in front of and above the axle of its front wheels and a saddle arrangement connected with the chassis adjacent the truck's back end. One of the truck's is selected as the lead, towing truck and the decking bar of a second truck is supported on the saddle arrangement of the lead truck such that the second truck can be towed by the lead truck from the manufacturing site to the delivery site. This technique can also be used to transport an additional truck or trucks between these points and it can be used for towing generally.
